Try At Suicide Said No Crime

LONDON ‘Reuters) — A five- man Church of England commit- tee recommended today that at-

a crime in Britain.

“The law, as it stands. is out of date and ineffective. It no longer represents the considered atti- tude of our society,” it said.

The committee, set up last year by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Geoffrey Fisher, suggested that partners in suicide pacts should be charged with a new of- fence of “aiding, abetting or in- stigating the suicide of another,” punishable with a maximum of life imprisonment

‘It pointed out that the Suicide rate im England is about 5,000 year with possibly another 30.000 suicide attempts, of which only about one-sixth are known to the

police. “For centyries in Christian countries t suicide was re-

Chamber Expansion

By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editer

TORONTO (CP) — The policy committee of the Canadian Cham- ber of Commerce Monday advo- cated expansion of trade with all countries, but also favored devel- opment of domestic industry.

The statement was interpreted as steering a careful course be- tween advocates of freer trade and those who would like to see more encouragement for Cana- dian manufacturers.

Western delegates particularly were emphatic that chamber po- licy should not take on any pro- tectionist tinge.

The statement, as adopted, rec- ognized “the important of free and competitive access to foreign markets for Canadian products” and said Canada’s trade policy “should aim for extension of cur- reficy convertibility and the ob- servance of the spirit, principles and terms of the General Agree- ment on Tariffs and Trade by all nations.

INCREASE EMPTOYMENT

It added:

“Consistent with these princi- ples in foreign trade, the most favorable possible climate should be maintained for increasing in dustrialization so that, by effec- tive use of all Canadian re- sources, a rising volume of em- ployment and ards of living may be achieved.”

The statement said further that while expansion of trade on a

The Canadian government should confine to a minimum its participation in ventures involv- ing the buying and sclling of com- modities; the statement said.

In Triumph

By FRASER WIGHTON

LONDON (Reuters) — Prime Minister Macmillan leads his tri- umphant Conservative party back to the government benches of the House of Commons today with a mandate to rule for another five years.

The Conservatives, their major- ity increased in the Oct. 8 elec-

_|tions to 100, will face a badly-

shaken Labor party on the op- position side of the historic Com- mons chamber.

The first business of Parlia- ment will be the election of a speaker and the formal swear- ing-in of members.

Election as speaker, one of the most coveted jobs in Parliament, demands by traditions a display of reluctance.

The ‘man chosen will be cvagged protestingly to the chair by his sponsors—an echo from the turbulent Parliaments of 500 years ago when kings occasion- 2lly ended a speaker's career on the chopping block.

Low Income Standard

MONCTON (CP) “The most | startling and obvious fact in) |Canada today is the wide zap) that exists between the high per-! capita income of the central re-} gion and the lower per-capita in-| come of our Atlantic provinces, jsaid the new president of the At-|

Arthur Johnson of St. here Monday.

In his first address as APEC

“This is not a good thing for) ithe Canadian nation, and it is something that calls for contin-} ued, urgent. and positive correc- tive measures.”

Mr. Johnson, who also Is chair- | man of APECs newly-created At- | lantic Provinces Research Board, | as well as deputy minister of ¢co- | nomic development for foundland, listed three factors he} said were major contributors to! tnis disparity in income:

Burdensome taxation, excessiv- ely high freight rates, and the “appearing and reappearing tight money situation.” }

MUST HAVE RELIEF On the first of these, Mr. John- son said: ““We must have tax *e-|

gument and ‘treason have been advanced by the four Atlantic provinces governments and “oan oe to why this relief must

Mr. Johnson said “one of our most urgent needs is cheap and fast transportation. We suffer greviously and terribly from a lack of both.”

Transportation is a two-edged sword that cuts us down in tne Atlantic region

“On the one side is the burden of freight rates, This is greatly added to by the iniquitous sys- tem by which railway costs tend: to be borne by the most. distant provinces. It: falls heavily on the cost of living which has to be

borne by every soul in the At- lentic region.

CUTS INDUSTRY

“On the other side, the sword cuts down our industries and po- tential industries. Large - scale secondary manufacturing is more difficult to é@stablish and operate in the provinces lying east, west and north of central Canada, than in the mass market area of central Canada itself.

“High freight rates, with few exceptions, virtually rule out for

|manufacturing involving weighi. iThis is a critical situation be- cause today few plants can pros- |rer on a small and purely local imarket,”” he said.

By JOSEPH MacSWEEN Canadian Press Staff ' Writer UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. ‘(CP)) ‘Britain told the United Nations} Monday the Soviet Union moved closer to the West in | portant aspects of disarmament. |

David Ormsby - Gore, British minister of state for foreign af- fairs was addressing the 82-mem- ber UN political and security committee on Soviet Premier Khrushchev's proposals for total disarmament within four years.

Khrushchev outlined his plan before the UN General Assembly Sept. 18—just one day after For-

Tourist Post Change Made

George V. Fraser, Charlotte- town, has been named director of ithe provincial Tourist and In- formation branch, Hon. J. David

'Y |Stewart, provincial secretary an-

nounced yesterday. Former direc- tor, A.A. Nicholson will remain with the service as deputy direc- tor.

Director of Information for the | Provincial government for the |past year, Mr. Fraser formerly headed the same branch from 1950 until 1957 when he resign- ed on his appointment as infor- mation officer with the depart- ment of trade and commerce, Ot- tawa.

Earlier this year Mr. Fraser spent three months in West Africa as advisor on tourism to the government of the new Common wealth nation of Ghana. He re- turned home May 12.

Prior to taking over the tourist and information branch in 1950, Mr. Fraser had served in the | journalistic field with The Guar- dian, The Evening Patriot, Bri- | tish United Press and the Interna- | tional Service of the CBC. In ad- dition he was one of the founders of an Ottawa public relations and |publishiag firm. A native of Montague. Mr. Fra- iser, his wife and four children,

George, Evelyn, Heather and Jeannine, reside at 30 Rich- mond Street.

Mr. Fraser's appointment would give added impetus to the tourist business one of the Island's lead- ing industries, Mr. Stewart re- marked

The position of information dir- ector would be abolished in line with the new government's policy of increased administrative ef- ficiency, he added.

eign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd had enunciated before -the world body a British proposal for ‘‘compre- ; hensive”’ step-by-step disarma- | ment hand in hand with inspec- tion and contrel.

FIRST LOOK

A comovarison of the Soviet and the British plans revealed big questions and “at first sight our approach to them seems different from that implicit in the Soviet declaration.”” said Ormsby-Gore.

“But it is not my intention to lay emphasis on our differences. We have noticed with pleasure that there are also elements in the Soviet proposals which show that there are important points upon which our two positions have come closer together.

= I note that the Soviet | proposals no longer contain a de- mand for an immediate ban on nuclear weapons before any start | can be made with reductions in convention forces.

“This is a major change, and is'@ move in the direction of bal- anced disarmament which we have _ consistently advocated.) Then again, foreign bases are to be abolished only as conven- tional disarmament becomes complete.

HOPEFUL SIGNS

“This could have a significant affect upon the attitude of those countries whose sense of security at the present time rests upon arrangements of this kind. These are hopeful auguries and we are fully prepared to examine the| Soviet proposals thoroughly, con- structively and in every detail.”
